Our first thread of the day includes a poll and comes to us from cobra302 – Glass up or down? Are you one of the brave few who actually set their iPhone face down?

Like c0mpguru mentions in the following thread, MMS is finally coming to your iPhone on September 25th. Most of you should be excited judging from the anger and outrage from this long delay but we want to know have your feelings changed what so ever toward AT&T?

So you are having an issue with your iPhone and need some help? Perhaps you have some time to kill and feel like helping others with their iPhone issues? If you answered yes to either of these questions then please stop by and visit our dedicated iPhone Help forum.

See you on the forums!

Apple Insider is reporting that Apple is packing up the graceful booths and elegant displays, and taking Steve’s winnebago to CES next year:

Sources close to the company have indicated to AppleInsider that the move is a done deal, a remarkable turn of events given that CES has long been dominated by Microsoft’s product announcements issued in keynotes delivered by Bill Gates and now by CEO Steve Ballmer.

TiPb has long felt that Apple has long felt it was too aloof for the tacky lights and hollow glitz of Vegan and CES, but could the times really be a changing that much? And if Apple does go to CES 2010, which Steve will give the Keynote, Ballmer or… Jobs?

Apple has posted a streaming Quicktime video of Phil Schiller’s Macworld 2009 Keynote, covering iLife 09, iWork 09, the unibody 17″ MacBook, and iTunes Plus — and more importantly for us, iPhone 2G/3G music downloads, the Keynote Remote App, and iPhoto slide export for the iPhone.

If Apple stays true to form, the event should also show up in their iTunes Podcast Keynote Feed some time soon-ish. Meanwhile, watch it now, and let us know what you think!

Keynote users rejoice! As part of his Macworld Keynote today (see our MASSIVE Live Blog!), Phil Schiller announced a Keynote Remote App for the iPhone! Connect via WiFi and Boom! In portrait view you see your slide and notes. Rotate to landscape mode and you get current and next slide.

Where does the control come in? Where else! Swipe to switch slides!

The App (if approved, and not using any sneaky API’s – haha!) will cost $0.99 and looks all shades of awesome.

You saw the epic liveblog, now see the photos.

We have the deets in photo on the new 17″ MacBook with the ridiculously large 8 hours of battery life, the fact that iTunes is going 100% DRM-Free, the new iLife with GarageBand Music Lessons, iMovie’s stunning upgrades, and iPhoto’s geo-tagging and face-recognition, and also the new iWork with Keynote — which now has an iPhone-based remote for switching slides and reading your notes.

Um, yeah, this was a huge Macworld for Mac people — and the iTunes DRM news and the Keynote news were incredibly great upgrades for iPhone owners.

Makes you weep that Apple will never go to a Macworld again, don’t it?

We’re all finished folks! Gallery of the images we took during the keynote coming soon, meanwhile restart the liveblog above for Rene’s incredible play-by-play, it’s practially a transcript of the entire event. Don’t be fooled by my (Dieter’s) name next to the updates, it was all Rene’s lightning-fingers giving you the updates.

Update: We’ve added a bootload of photos of the 2009 Macworld Keynote. Go take a peek!

In 2007 Steve Jobs strode up onto the Macworld stage, rehashed the Apple TV for a bit, then dropped the shot heard around the consumer electronic universe: iPhone.

In 2008, it was Time Capsule, an iPhone OS update, Apple TV Take 2, and the MacBook Air.

And in 2009?

Er… um… we’re not even sure he’s going to be there, according to Businessweek (via MacRumors):

Update: 2:30 PM EST: Now Paul Kent is clarifying his statement. Here it is verbatim: “We haven’t made an announcement yet. We hope to in the next two weeks.” Rather than clearing the picture up, it just got muddy again.

Previous years, there’s been an announcement roughly a month before hand. We’ve blown that soft deadline this time around.

One concern is that Apple may have no big announcements to make. Mac Pro, MacBook Pro 17″, Mac Mini, and Apple TV are all due refreshes, maybe even iMacs, but none of those are iPhone or MacBook Air type sexay. Apple could drop an iPhone Nano or an iTablet, but those are seen as longshots.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard is almost a certainty, but while it includes Grand Central and Open CL, for consumers, it’s “no new features”.

But is Jobs giving a less than ‘verse denting keynote worse than him not showing up at all, generating more panic about his health and Apple’s confidence in the market, especially with Adobe already having pulled out of their booth?

What do you think? Is there a Macworld without a Steve Jobs Keynote? And if so, who gives it in his place, and what do they announce? Phil Schiller on iPhone 2.3 might not be enough…

While an iTunes Podcast downloadable version will no doubt follow, Apple has just launched their usual Quicktime Streaming Video of the “Spotlight on Notebooks” Keynote.

Go check it out!

Missed all the news this morning? Well now is your chance to watch today’s Keynote given by none other than Mr. Steve Jobs. And I am glad to report he is alive and well!

Head on over to Apple’s web site and check it out!

After watching it let us know what you think in the comments or head over to the forums and discuss firmware 2.1 available this Friday!

Miss the iPhone 3G Launch? Want to see Steve Jobs work the crowd? Trying to test out how the RDF works on you? Well, Apple has posted the WWDC 08 Keynote for your viewing pleasure. It’s time to catch up on the biggest Apple-related news since the SDK event.

In the keynote, you’ll be able to see details of the 2.0 firmware, MobileMe in action, app and game demos aplenty, and the unveiling of the iPhone 3G. Not to mention, it’s always good fun to see Apple’s CEO at his finest and re-live the excitement in a Quicktime video.
